well it appears to be a pro-Mike instead of anti-mcCain campaign

Well I don’t know...elections are funny. Seems like not long ago McCain said Hillary would make an excellant president, but now he’s pointing out his alleged differences with her. Perhaps Huck will have a change of heart re:McCain too, now that he’s needs other supporters.

“We should get united on a write-in campaign”

“WE” couldn’t even get united when we had a good conservative candidate running.

“Well, the huckster has more delegates.”

Where did you get that info? can I have a link?
This is what I found....as of 02/06
Candidate Delegates
Mike Huckabee 190
John McCain 703
Ron Paul 14
Mitt Romney 293
Total 1,200

In some ways I see Romney’s move as a direct challenge to Huckabee. He has said, “I am a statesman - what are you?”

I don’t think McCain is slimy like Huckabee just because I disagree with him. FWIW, I don’t like either. And we’ll probably end up with a ticket composed of my two least favorite candidates. (Discounting non-entity RuPaul)

The current CBS News Republican Delegate Count is McCain 700, Huckabee 163, Romney 158, Paul 10, Thompson 3, Hunter 1. A total of 1,191 are needed to nominate.

These numbers will change as more delegates from Tuesday are allocated. Check back for updates.

They might be in error.

I hope he does call Romney and ask for the endorsement. After having to drop out, Romney deserves a good laugh.
“Why yes, I will endorse a religious bigot, NOT!!”

What’s funny is when McCain stops taking Mike Whoreabee’s phone calls.

The thing that annoyed me about Huck (and still does) is that he has NO CHANCE of winning the nomination yet still stays in. He’s only staying in for SELFISH PURPOSES (for possible VP slot).

Mitt’s coming out looking really good here - very noble and gallant. It’s not like he doesn’t have the money to go on, but he’s thinking of his country.

Huck on the other hand has made me detest him more.

“Huckabee added that he had yet to chat with Romney – they’ve played phone tag, according to Huckabee”

LOL. Going hat in hand to Mitt? Too late. Mitt already took one for a unified party to win the war. You’re now on the outside looking in, Huck. You made your alliance and now you have to live with the consquences.

Huchabee be gone! I won’t vote for another phoney “Carter-Clinton” type or a proven RINO. The way things look right now, I don’t have anyone to vote for. Maybe I can come up with a write-in. McCaint ain’t gonna cut it.

After all the venom you directed at Romney, Huck? Your candidacy recently has been nothing but a vendetta run against Romney - as you pretty much admitted to Glenn Beck.

Oh well, one rino crashing another rinos party is at least entertaining.

The two we have left are all about "Me."

Mitt Romney is by far the most intelligent of the candidates, IMO.

On ABC radio in the last couple of hours I have heard twice that “some people are saying John McCain may have Huckabee for VP”.
